Hildegard (2001) by Marta Lambertini. Voices, silences, music and sexuality

The musical, sonic, and literary world constructed by Argentine composer Marta Lambertini (San Isidro, 1937; Buenos Aires, 2019) invites us to immerse ourselves in her work, particularly in her operas starring women: Alice, Hildegard, and Cinderella. In this text, I propose to delve into the complex...

Voces, silencios, música y sexualidad Lobato, Silvia Marta Lambertini Hildegard contemporary opera Marta Lambertini Hildegard ópera contemporánea The musical, sonic, and literary world constructed by Argentine composer Marta Lambertini (San Isidro, 1937; Buenos Aires, 2019) invites us to immerse ourselves in her work, particularly in her operas starring women: Alice, Hildegard, and Cinderella. In this text, I propose to delve into the complex plot of voices, sounds, and silences unfolding in Hildegard (2001), the composer´s third opera, premiered in June 2002 at the Teatro Colon´s Experimental Center, after overcoming several obstacles due to the context of the political, social, and economic crisis in Argentina, and the circumstances of its production. I am insterested in offering a «kaleidoscopic» wiew of her work, based on the study of the multiple layers that comprise it: the prose, musical, and performance texts, to which are added the voices of the composer, librettist, musical director, stage director, and journalistic critics, with the aim of adding meanings in an interpretive reading from the perspective of feminist and gender studies. I question the feminist agency of the work, both in its narrative and in the stages of creation and production. Likewise, exploring the musical narrative, in terms of sound, gender, and sexuality, opens up new meaning to the construction of “the feminine” in contemporary opera.  El mundo musical, sonoro y literario construido por la compositora argentina Marta Lambertini (San Isidro, 1937; Buenos Aires, 2019) nos invita a sumergirnos en su obra, en particular, las óperas protagonizadas por mujeres: Alice, Hildegard y Cenicienta. En este texto propongo acercarnos a la trama compleja de voces, sonidos y silencios que despliega Hildegard (2001), la tercera ópera de la compositora, estrenada en junio de 2002 en el Centro de Experimentación del Teatro Colón, después de sortear varios obstáculos por el contexto de crisis política, social y económica en Argentina, y circunstancias propias de su producción. Me interesa plantear una mirada «caleidoscópica» de su obra, a partir del estudio de las múltiples capas que la conforman, desde el texto en prosa, el musical y el performático, al que se agregan las voces de la compositora, la libretista, el director musical, la directora de escena y la crítica periodística, con la finalidad de sumar sentidos, en una lectura interpretativa desde los estudios feministas y de género. Me pregunto acerca de la agencia feminista de la obra, tanto en su narrativa como en las etapas de creación y producción. Asimismo, indagar en la narrativa musical, en términos de lo sonoro, el género y la sexualidad, abre nuevos sentidos a la construcción de «lo femenino» en la ópera contemporánea.
